C-sections rates 5% each in the 60's; infant morbidity and mortality 15 and 10% respectively. C-section rates 5 and 20% respectively in the 80's; and infant morbidity and mortality 5% each. conclusions: 1. The increase of the C-section rate doesn't improve the infant outcome. 2. The improvement comes from the pediatric care. -- Bernard Cristalli MD CNGOF AIHP - ACCA Paris - France http://www.obgyn.net/corresp/cristalli.htm Next message: Malcolm Griffiths: "Re: Prior cesarean, SGA, need your help...."

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
